This German training film labeled as "TOP SECRET" from the E.d.L (Erprobungsstelle der Luftwaffe / Test Center of the Air Force) Karlshagen describes in detail the technique and handling of this completely new weapon system. <br /> <br />The V-1 flying bomb (German: Vergeltungswaffe)—also known to the Allies as the buzz bomb, or doodlebug, and in Germany as Kirschkern (cherrystone) or Maikäfer (maybug)—was an early pulsejet-powered cruise missile, the first production aircraft to use a pulsejet for power. <br /> <br />The V-1 was developed at Peenemünde Army Research Center by the Nazi German Luftwaffe during the Second World War. During initial development it was known by the codename "Cherry Stone". <br />The first of the so-called Vergeltungswaffen series designed for terror bombing of London, the V-1 was fired from launch facilities along the French (Pas-de-Calais) and Dutch coasts.
